After an Iran Sculpture 1956

"After an Iran Sculpture" is a 1956 work by American artist John Bernhardt, known for his distinctive style blending abstraction with figuration. The linocut print, featuring a bold orange background, presents a dynamic composition of two intertwined figures, likely influenced by ancient Iranian sculpture. The figures are rendered in stark black lines, creating a striking contrast against the orange backdrop, and are densely patterned with geometric and organic motifs, reflecting Bernhardt's interest in exploring form and texture.
